Our Philosophy
Keep it simple and strive for excellence not perfection.
- Organizing is a lifelong, ongoing process, not a one-time event.
- Organize it right the first time so you don't have to organize it over.
- There is no one right way to get or be organized.
- You are not your "stuff".
- You should own your "stuff"; your "stuff" should not own you.
- Keep only those things that are useful, beautiful or you treasure for reasons of your own. Let the rest of it go.
- Organization is the key to really getting the most that you can out of your space, your time, your life.
- Getting organized is about living in a way that helps create your best possible life - happy, stress-free, creative, motivated and enriching.
- Simple, intuitive, highly customized organizing systems and solutions reflecting your wants/needs, comfort/convenience and dovetailing with the way your mind works are key. These kinds of organizational systems and solutions work best and are the easiest to successfully maintain over the long run.
- There is an element of pleasure in using an organizational system or solution that fits harmoniously with your personality and reflects your style.
- It's not about the "stuff"; it's about what you want from your life and how you will make that dream a reality.
- If your "stuff" isn't helping you to create the life you want, it shouldn't be in your life.
- Have a place for everything and return it there when you're done using it.
If you do, you'll know just where to find it the next time you need it. - Happiness isn't found in the quantity of "stuff" we own, it's found in the quality of relationships that we form. What we own should support and enhance that life not be a barrier to it.
- Establish the vision you want for your life/space. How do you want your life and living and working spaces to look, feel and function? Decide what will help you achieve your vision and get rid of anything and everything that doesn't help you reach that goal.
- Organizing is not a talent; it's a skill that can be learned. It comes more naturally to some people than others, but everyone can learn to do it. It just takes willingness and determination, the right tools and a little time and practice.
- When you take off an item, put it away. If something is dirty, clean it. If you open something, close it. If you start something, finish it.
- Be intentional. Look at one item at a time and make a deliberate decision about it. Do you really want to keep it? And, if so, where is it going to go and how is it going to be stored?
- When contemplating whether or not to keep something, ask yourself if you would pay to move it all the way across the country or take it with you on your way out the door if your house were on fire. If the answer is, "No", let it go!
- Respect the limits that your physical space places on you. Once those limits are reached, practice the "one in, one out" rule by removing one item from your space before adding another item.
- Successful people know that to get ahead they must set priorities, plan and always follow through. They make certain their systems work well for them, minimizing the amount of time and energy they must spend on a given task. They are always looking for ways to do things smarter, faster and better.
- Store things as close to their point of use as possible. The more steps it takes to do something the less likely it is to get done.
- CHANGE IS POSSIBLE.
